*I DO have many rendering settings off/low, postprocessing (known to cause lag) is off*
*So there's my problem. Great specs yet unplayable due to framerate, even with only 1 unit on the chart it is laggy as hell.
*I do play arma 2 on high settings, except for some rendering settings on low/medium. My framerate is great on that, even in big firefights it drops to a maximum of 15 which is good for arma.
*Games like battlefield 3 run on normal settings because i prefer 60fps over a lower fps with better graphics.
*Systemrequirementslab's "can you run it" fills the bar completely.
!I don't need people to tell me that my pc is bad or anything, thank you, but the problem is that my specs beat and match the recommended specs, yet it doesn't work at all.
